Cthulhu Gonfalon

The news spread, the world is in vain.

In this world, war is a commonplace thing, and it is not so rare to defeat the entire family. However, regardless of the outcome, not only to destroy the logistics of the other side, to attack the will of the other side, to mass-kill the civilians, or even to completely destroy the villages and towns, this behavior has seriously broken through the long-standing "conventions". .

Generally speaking, this kind of thing happens mostly outside the main plane. Those who are based on small worlds and who fight each other for smuggling will have such a cool approach. In the main plane, even the elemental creatures with weak feelings, even the evil devils, will not do this kind of thing - because that is meaningless.

What is the use of killing? Is human flesh better than other meats? Even if the human flesh is more delicious, the other worlds are not without human reproduction, and spend a lot of money on the human world, just to eat a fresh mouth?

If anyone does this, even in the devil, it is definitely a type of "illness, cure."

Generally speaking, even if it is an evil lower bound creature, such as a demon or something, their practice is to kill human beings and take the soul away to supplement their subordinates. And simply killing people is really...rare.

In fact, this is not a "rare" problem, but a heartbreaking madness.

The news spread to the aristocratic site, and the great aristocrats who had discussed this matter with the Count of House were also stunned. They thought that the Count of House would only be used for ordinary burning, looting, but this guy turned out to be a comet, where the invading troops passed, men and women, young and old, almost one. Even if you want to burn out houses and farmland, kill animals, even water sources must try to pollute. If they are not limited in time, I am afraid that the farmland will be damaged by the spell.

"This...this is really... really..." At the meeting of the great aristocrats, Marquis Yuk shook a few times and didn't know what to say. In the end, it was only repeated "true" and could not say anything else.

"We shouldn't promise him at the beginning!" A local sergeant hated and said that the tone was full of resentment. "I don't think he actually has such a big killing! After a few squats, he is afraid of killing several times." Thousand people."

"According to the North, there are almost 6,000 people." A central faction replied, "Now we are passive and very embarrassed..."

What he is currently responsible for is the diplomacy with the merchants. It is said that the strength of the two sides is comparable. Diplomatic work does not account for anything cheap, and it should not be a loss. However, because of the crazy behavior of Count Earl, the aristocratic faction is now suffering from diplomatic problems. Not only is the merchants angry, but even many good-hearted churches are putting pressure on them.

Things have developed to this point, which is beyond their imagination. They thought that the Count of House was so ferocious, and when they were in the sky, they would harass the place, and then killing thirty or fifty people in each place, and making the riots grow up. When the discussion was first, the Count of House clearly said this. Said.

In terms of reason, it is better to kill a small part of the people in one place. This saves time and effort, and allows the rest of the people to spread their fears. If you kill people directly, the only thing that can be spread is hatred.

The Earl of Houses wants to spread the fear, thus combating the war will of the merchants, while creating chaos and destroying the logistics of the merchants. It’s just that a village and a town have slaughtered the past, and this effect is not achieved at all.

The most uncomfortable thing at the moment is not the merchants, but the count of the nobility who is responsible for diplomatic work. On the one hand, he has to appease a businessman who has a "I am so angry" that he will send a diplomat. On the one hand, he should explain to the church of the good gods, avoid the aristocratic faction becoming a public enemy, and on the other hand, try to chase The initial diplomatic goal... He felt that there was no second in all diplomats from the past to the present.

In fact, he is not the worst. After all, the aristocratic faction is still strong enough to support the scene. The diplomats of the weak countries are really miserable at home, purely furnishings, and often humiliated.

Facing the madness of Count Earl, the merchants sent out natural anger, and quickly set up a fast maneuvering unit, and then hurriedly sent them out, chasing along the traces of the destruction of the Count of House, trying to catch up with them. Kill them in one fell swoop.

A few days later, another news came.

The fast-moving force of the merchants did catch up with the aristocratic fast maneuver forces led by the Count of House, and the two sides fought in a wilderness. However, the result of the war was that the fast-moving units built by the merchants were completely collapsed. Except for a few lucky ones who had the ability to transmit spells or deliver reels, nearly 300 others were wiped out.

This news made the merchant's parliament stunned, and the big men were also confused.

In the war, the difference in the number of people cannot be ignored. There are only about 200 people in the fast-moving army of the aristocracy, and there are 300 people in the merchants, and half of them are. In terms of equipment, the wealthy merchants, the weapons, armored horses and consumables equipped for the fast maneuvering forces will never be worse than the nobility. In terms of quality, although the merchants have fallen behind, they have a lot of long-term cooperative mercenary organizations. The troops that are carefully formed are more powerful than the ones that the aristocrats sent to “clean up the inventory”. .

However, the result was completely reversed. The aristocratic mobile unit, which must have been defeated, won. However, the merchants who had the advantage in both human and material resources were defeated and defeated, and almost lost all the troops.

This is incredible, but it is an ironclad fact.

In the face of such facts, the great aristocrats are also somewhat upset.

"What should I do?" At the Great Aristocratic meeting, Marquis Gordon asked, "Let everyone discuss and discuss. Now, in this case, what is the right thing to do?"

“First, we have to change our minds,” said a local count. “Although House’s approach is indeed excessive, we have to admit that he is strong and strong enough to really change the outcome of this war. ""

Big aristocrats, look at me, I look at you, nodded silently.

"The original group of businessmen in the north and the other side of the group were evenly matched. No one can help. But with him and his army, the logistics of the merchants will definitely have problems, and the will to war will be greatly hit. If we should, we should be able to take advantage of the final signing of the contract." The count paused and stressed, "It’s not cheap, but cheap!"

"We don't object to this," said a central count, "but the problem is that he puts a lot of pressure on us."

"Yes, he has brought us a lot of pressure and great trouble. But he can also bring us victory!" The Earl emphasized that "victory!"

The great aristocrats are silent. Indeed, for war, victory is the most important thing.

No matter what you do, it doesn't make sense to win.

Even if you have to pay a lot of money, it is worthwhile to win.

In the end, the great aristocrats passed a resolution to withstand the pressure from all parties, as much as possible for the Count of House to delay for a period of time, so that they can get more results.

As for morality and conscience, they don’t have much of this kind of thing. The rest, in order to win the war, don’t care to sell it again...
